I am looking forward to co-leading a table with Sandro Carnicelli at the upcoming Hackathon of Policy Ideas on 12 and 13 December at the University of the West of Scotland . Our table will grapple with the current policy challenge of how to achieve 'sustainable tourism, leisure and work' for local and global communities, exploring, among other, issues such as:
- land, air, water, noise, visual and cultural environments;
- access to public and private goods, services, and spaces;
- economic diversity and returns;
- social relations and exchanges;
- employment conditions and opportunities;
- physical and social (in)mobility;
- generational relations and wellbeing.
If any of these issues are of interest to you, make sure you register for this event asap - spaces are limited 📅 Event details below and registration at this link https://lnkd.in/e7mn6fuq
💡 Looking forward to discussing and shaping impactful solutions on this policy challenge. Any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. #SustainableTourism#tourism#leisure#work#SustainablePolicy#PolicyAnalysis

EdPrepLab Seed Grant recipients are highlighting the power of SoLD-aligned research and cross-institutional collaboration. One standout project, Social Justice Leadership in International Contexts, brings together UCLA, University of California, Berkeley, Universidad Alberto Hurtado, and Universidad Diego Portales to build an international community of practice. This inspiring work showcases the impact of global partnerships in advancing education leadership for social justice.
Jamie Merisotis, President of Lumina Foundation, challenged us to embrace this critical moment for higher education.
With growing skepticism about the value of a degree, Merisotis urged leaders to focus on connecting learning to the issues facing our communities and preparing students for active, informed citizenship.
Higher education is at a crossroads. How we define its role today will shape its impact tomorrow.

It's the final day of #AllInCCA2024. It's not over yet...but here are a few unexpected ways I know it's been a success.
✍🏽 I've woken up every morning frantically jotting down ideas for when I get home.
👫 "Networking" has felt like hanging out with my friends.
👠 It's fine that my feet hurt.
(Well, maybe two of those.)
What have been your favorite All In wins?

Recently, I got to sit down with some of my favorite movement leaders to discuss the threat to our democracy and planet posed by Project 2025—a comprehensive plan devised by a coalition of conservative think tanks, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation. Their objective is to distort the federal government and its policies to align with anti-democratic, authoritarian conservative ideology.
For those just getting familiar with Project 2025 and the very real threat it poses, I urge you to watch this video, which captures some of the highlights from my longer conversation with Marisa Franco of Mijente; George Goehl of Addition Collective; and Maurice Mitchell of Working Families Party.
We live in complex, challenging times and so much is on the line. Our best bet for a livable future is organized solidarity. It's our strongest tool to understand threats, refine strategies, and envision a country animated by love for our planet and the belief that all life is precious.
To support our beloved community in navigating this moment, I’m thrilled to announce Marguerite Casey Foundation’s Summer School: Building A People and Planet-Centered Future. 🌍✊
From now through October, MCF Summer School will feature in-person and virtual sessions with movement organizers, partners, and scholars discussing multiracial solidarity, the government we want, how we hold powerful forces accountable, and more.
MCF Summer School goals are to:
➡ Get clear about how we can defeat fascism
➡ Plant seeds for a bold, progressive future, and
➡ Support organizing to win a better world
There is no better time to come together and build a better future. Join our next session, "The State of Student Protest," on June 13 at 1 PM ET. Register now at the link in the comments. arrow ⬇
